Description
WO 2005/026012 PCT/N02004/000274 A VALVE FOR A DRINKING RECEPTACLE This invention concerns an underpressure-activated outflow mechanism in a valve for a drinking receptacle. The valve includes a valve head and a valve seat, where the valve seat 5 is arranged in force-transmitting connection with a membrane, whereas the valve head is fixed to the remaining structure. The patent literature discloses several devices that utilize underpressure for activating a valve for a drinking receptacle, for example as shown in US patent no. 6.290.090 io and in Norwegian patent no. 315182. Common to all prior art in this area is that the valve seat is fixed to the structure, and that only the sealing surface of the valve head can be moved or change shape during activation. First and foremost the present invention seeks to improve the 15 manufacture and cost related aspects of existing technology. Making the valve seat moveable renders possible to obviate the need for the valve head requiring horizontal sealing surfaces that must be pulled out of the casting mould after moulding, thus bringing about a risk of inflicting damage 20 thereto. Normally the valve surface may also become damaged during assembly, inasmuch as it becomes strongly deformed WO 2005/026012 2 PCT/N02004/000274 when being forced through a valve opening. Using currently available methods for inspecting this surface increases both cost and complexity. The object of the invention is to remedy said disadvantages 5 of prior art. The object is achieved in accordance with the features disclosed in the following description below and in the subsequent claims. The valve differs substantially from existing technology in that it includes a valve seat that is arranged movably 1o suspended relative to the valve head itself, and relative to the remaining structure. The membrane is arranged in force transmitting connection with the valve seat. When a user sucks an underpressure P2 on one side of the membrane, thereby causing it to move or deform, a substantially axial is suction force is transmitted to the valve seat and moves it. Due to the valve head being fixed to the substantially non moveable part of the structure, the valve seat is moved away from the valve head and opens the valve to outflow, cf. attached figures. 20 Another particular feature of the invention is that it utilizes a flexible or movable seal between the pressure zone P3 of the drinking receptacle and the atmospheric reference pressure P1. The seal may be formed so as to be pressure affectable by the bottle pressure, thereby allowing the 25 bottle pressure to exert an elevated closing pressure when the pressure increases. It may also be formed with a vertical tubular or cone-shaped zone, thereby allowing it to expand radially during influence of pressure, thus reducing the axial extent thereof. This function may be used to counteract 30 or balance the valve closing pressure, thereby reducing the WO 2005/026012 3 PCT/N02004/000274 required opening force from the membrane during high-pressure activation. It is also an object of the invention to provide a structure that is simpler to manufacture, and which can withstand high 5 pressure. According to prior art, a flexible and pressure affectable membrane structure may be used, in which the same soft material is also utilized to form a valve head. The forces arising in response to pressure P3 in the drinking receptacle therefore must be transmitted via the soft sealing 1o flange of the valve head to a stationary valve seat, or to other parts of the relatively soft membrane. According to the present invention, these forces substantially will be transmitted directly to the rigid part of the structure via the valve head and the suspension thereof, which represents a is structural advantage, cf. the figures. The invention may be provided, as needed, with a protective top cover or other special technical adaptations. This especially concerns the choice of connection methods to the drinking receptacle and the design of flanges and snap 20 connections between the parts constituting the device itself. Threads and/or flanges may be adapted for use on all types of drinking receptacles, such as bottles, cartons, bags, cups, feeding bottles, etc. If the device is to be adapted for easy cleaning and reuse, the individual parts may be provided 25 with, for example, threads instead of snap-connections. The device is intended for use with all types of liquid food substances, also including pressurized drinks, hot drinks, liquid food, ice cream and so forth. In principle, the invention can be utilized together with all 30 known types of membranes, for example with flat, circular and WO 2005/026012 PCT/N02004/000274 radially suspended membranes, or with membranes having a conical shape projecting into the vertical plane. The membranes may have both symmetrical as well as asymmetrical shapes and may include several materials, for example 5 combinations of rigid ribs or portions transmitting force, and also soft plastics allowing radial compression of the membrane. In the following, several non-limiting examples of preferred embodiments are described, in which these embodiments are 10 shown as vertical sections in the accompanying drawings, in which: Figures la-lb show one embodiment of the valve device according to the invention being arranged in a screw cap, in which the valve is shown in a closed and an open position, i5 respectively; Figures 2a-2b show an alternative embodiment of the valve device according to the invention being arranged in a screw cap, in which the valve is shown in a closed and an open position, .respectively; 20 Figures 3a-3c also show an alternative embodiment of the valve device according to the invention being arranged in an enclosure, in which the valve is shown in a closed, an open and an open/venting position, respectively; Figures 4a-4c show a valve device resembling the embodiment 25 according to figures 2a-2b, in which the figures show steps in the assembling of the valve device; figures 4a-4c showing individual components of the valve device; while figure 4d shows the components after assembly, and where figure 4a WO 2005/026012 5 PCT/N02004/000274 shows a membrane part in the form it exists immediately after being removed from its casting mould. Figure la shows one embodiment of the valve device according to the invention, in which the device is connected to a 5 drinking receptacle 2 being a bottle in this example. In its position of rest, the valve seat 44 will be in pressure sealing contact with the valve head 34. The valve head 34 is fixed within the cap and/or to the remaining structure via one or more stays 36. When applying an underpressure P2 to 10 the inside of the membrane 1 via the suction channel 49, the radial shape of the membrane 1 changes and becomes shorter axially. Due to the membrane 1 being fixed at its lower end 50, the resulting suction force will move the valve seat 44 away from the valve head 34, which is downwards on the is figure, and open the valve to outflow. A seal 46 is also pressure-sealingly connected with the valve seat 44 and against an extruded, tubular channel 48 on a pressure-sealing partition wall 3 towards the drinking receptacle 2. A movable and/or flexible flange 14, which is pressure-sealingly 20 connected with the valve seat 44, seals against the inside of a spout 12 formed in an enclosure 4 surrounding the valve on the outside of said screw cap. This sealing arrangement ensures that two separate pressure zones can exist in the valve during the activation thereof, in which one pressure 25 zone has a pressure P1 (atmospheric pressure), and the other pressure zone has a pressure P2 (underpressure creating said suction force). When the suction force opens the valve, liquid will flow from the drinking receptacle 2 through the channel 48. When the suction force ceases, the valve will 30 close, partly as a result of the elastic rigidity of the membrane, and partly as a result of the elastic deformation of the seal 46.
WO 2005/026012 6 PCT/N02004/000274 Figure lb shows the valve according to figure la in an open, underpressure-activated position. Figure 2a shows an alternative embodiment of the valve device according to the invention. In this embodiment, the seal 46 5 is replaced with a flexible zone 40. When the valve seat 44 moves towards the partition wall 3 during activation, the relatively soft and/or bellows-shaped zone 40 will be compressed and temporarily shortened in the axial direction thereof, thus forming a flexible, yet pressure-tight, liquid 10 channel. Figure 2b shows the valve device according to figure 2a in an open, underpressure-activated, position. Figure 3a shows another embodiment of the valve device according to the invention. In this embodiment, the membrane 15 1 is arranged to contract radially upon underpressure activation, thereby increasing its length axially. The axial extension of the membrane causes the valve seat 44 to move away from the valve head 34, which is down towards the drinking receptacle 2 on the figure, and open the valve to 20 outflow. In this example, the drinking receptacle 2 may be a drinking carton, for example, in which only a wall portion thereof is shown on the figure. The valve head 34 shown herein is provided with a guide peg 35 centring the valve seat 44 relative to the valve head 34 during closing. The 25 membrane 1 is shown pressure-sealingly suspended via its upper end 15 from a recess 18 in an outer enclosure 4 that is fixed to the drinking receptacle 2 around an opening therein. On the outside of the membrane 1, a pressure equalization space 55 exists being connected with atmospheric pressure P1 WO 2005/026012 PCT/N02004/000274 7 via at least one vent 6 in the wall of the surrounding enclosure 4. Figure 3b shows the valve device according to figure 3a in an open, underpressure-activated position. In this under 5 pressure-activated position, a pressure difference Pl-P2 will act across the pressure-sensitive part of the membrane 1, causing a radial compression thereof and a resulting axial displacement of the valve seat 44. Figure 3c shows the valve device according to figure 3a in 10 both the activated and the venting position. When an underpressure P3 arises in the drinking receptacle 2 during the liquid outflow, a flange seal 20 will move away from a sealing surface 21 and allow venting of the drinking receptacle 2 via said pressure-equalization space 55 and vent is 6. The flange seal 20 is an outer sealing lip of a sealing flap 22 that is connected to the valve seat 44 and encircles the valve seat 44. The sealing surface 21 constitutes a portion of a shoulder formed on the inside of the enclosure 4. The venting may occur due to a pressure difference P1-P3 20 acting across the sealing flap 22, thereby introducing an inwardly directed force that moves the flange seal 20 away from the sealing surface 21. Venting of the drinking receptacle 2 is not restricted to only occur when the valve device is in an activated state, venting may also occur 25 independently of this manner of venting. According to another aspect of the invention, said membrane 1 may also be moulded in a spread-out Y-shape in a casting mould. Such a Y-shape appears in an axial cross section through the membrane 1, such as shown in figure 4a. Thus, the 30 membrane 1 will assume this shape immediately after being WO 2005/026012 8 PCT/N02004/000274 removed from the casting mould. In this embodiment, said lower end 50 of the membrane 1 is formed as a ring gasket having a circular cross section. The Y-shaped membrane structure is very favourable in view of mass-producing the 5 membrane 1. Having removed the Y-shaped membrane structure from the casting mould, the membrane 1 is deflected and folded into its normal shape of use, as shown in figure 4b. The folding may be carried out before or during assembly of the individual components of the valve device. Figure 4c 10 shows said screw cap and an outer enclosure 4 thereof. The enclosure is provided with said spout 12 wherein the valve head 34 is suspended via said stays 36. Figure 4d shows all components after assembly thereof in the screw cap, in which the assembly is ready to be connected to a bottle (not 15 shown).
